• Use only Samsung-approved batteries,
and recharge your battery only with
Samsung-approved chargers. Disconnect
the charger from the power source when
it is not in use. Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for more than a
week, since overcharging may shorten
its life.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the
charging capacity of your battery: it may
require cooling or warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold
places because the capacity and lifetime
of the battery will be reduced. Try to
keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may not
work temporarily, even when the battery
is fully charged.
Li-ion batteries are particularly affected
by temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object like a coin, clip or
pen causes a direct connection between
the + and – terminals of the battery
(metal strips on the battery).
For example, do not carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag where the
battery may contact metal objects.
Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the object causing
the short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with local regulations. Always recycle. Do
not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Road safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When you are driving a car, driving is your
first responsibility. When using your wireless
phone while driving, follow local regulations
in the country or region you are in.
